the students to examine
our school paper, and evaluate lt.

few short months, lack or genera]
Interest In this paper is apparent,
and the answer lies withjn the
GLEANER'S pages.
While lhe GLEANER has done a
very thorough job of reporting
events at Nazareth, 1t gives too
much space to straight factual
news, and a little to humor and
human Interest. This tends to give
it a dry somber foremat. Th.c
articles about Nancy Griffin and
Ann Wehner were good. and we
need more of this type. We could
have storles oo our traveling bas­ketball
team, features about Na.z·
arcth volunteers working on Red
Cross programs, Interviews wJth
campus personalities, and polls on
student opinions. Who wouldn't
want to read about her rrlend,

"Get your guy, wear your favor­Ite

as your Juckiest Friday the
13th ever." These are the pleasant
orders whlch Senior co-chairmen
Marty Cook and Agnes Sorge have
issued to all Naurenes concerning
the annuaJ Christmas Formal,
which this year will be held In
tbe Cotillion Room or the Shera­ton
Hotel from 9-1 . Carl Dengler

Expectations on the success of

Is hoped that all students will be
able to usher in their holiday ex­citements
on such a merry note.
What inspiring, intriguing
and impressive event does the
future hold for the Nazareth
Family? Sophomores, .Juniors
and Seniors might correctly
identify this event at the an­nual
Christmas Party wruch
will soon be as pleasant a
memory for the Fresh)nan
Class. According to the co­chairmen,
Peggy O'Reilly and
Jane Flynn, Monday, Decem·
ber 16 has been reserved for
this celebration.
The inspiring feature of the
ceremony Will begin with the
Bishop's Mass in the auditor­ium

served for the faculty and en·

Around the Cat:npi
By Mary J. Barrett
Only 24 more days are left till Christmas Vacation (and
that alleged recess after first class)! Within the intervening
December days, our brother campus is having its annual
Winter Weekend, from the 6th through the 8th. The weekend
consists of a gambling casino and dance Friday night, the
Formal on Saturday, and a cabin party Sunday after noon. As
an added attraction, big name entertainment will arrive (on
time?) Sunday night. It amazes me what Fisher can do with
their activities fee and a $5 weekend ticket. We girls are still
struggling along (as of last year) with an activities fee of the
same amount, a $15 weekend ticket, and the Dixieland Ramb­lers.
Perhaps we're just not equipped with business acumen.
The Fisher Cardinals will "bit the hardwood" (as G.
Beahon would say it) on the 4th in a game against RIT. The
team looks better this year but they need help-moral sup·
port. Buses are provided for students from both schools. The
money for this transporta tion was earned by Salue to Sports.
Let's use it up this year!
While we're on the subject of elevators--is there any
real reason, or r uling, that prevents art, music and chemistry
majors from using ours? Art majors carry on the average
of ten pounds 1>£ equipment to the third floor day in and day
out. Music majors lose their breath on the trip up and can't
possibly sing in good voice. The poor chem majors are in
classes for two and three hours at a time. I doubt that they
would tie up the elevator . Someone please · cortsider!. ..
For those girts uninterested in St. J ohn Fisher, elevators,
and basketball, there is always the cultural side of campus
life. From 12:00 to 1:30 each day, you can watch real, true-to­life
drama enacted on the television screen in the ·day-hop
social room. The plots are so esoteric, the acting is sublime,
but both are surpassed by the dialogue.
It is an opportunity that shouldn't be passed up (and isn't
by a sizeable percentage of our student body). At present,
The B.righter Day seems to be the favorite; but The Secret
Storm is running a close second.

Dear CLEANER Stall',
Throughout the last few weeks,
the GLEANER Staff has been re­questing
the students to examine
our school paper, and evaluate lt.
Even though l've been here just a
few short months, lack or genera]
Interest In this paper is apparent,
and the answer lies withjn the
GLEANER'S pages.
While lhe GLEANER has done a
very thorough job of reporting
events at Nazareth, 1t gives too
much space to straight factual
news, and a little to humor and
human Interest. This tends to give
it a dry somber foremat. Th.c
articles about Nancy Griffin and
Ann Wehner were good. and we
need more of this type. We could
have storles oo our traveling bas­ketball
team, features about Na.z·
arcth volunteers working on Red
Cross programs, Interviews wJth
campus personalities, and polls on
student opinions. Who wouldn't
want to read about her rrlend,
roommate, or even herself?
We also need more information
on current collegiate events. By
eoUeglate I mean colleges in the
Rochester area, not just St. John
Fisher. Why Is nothing ever said

paper should contain news. and
lots of it. That is what I reel the
GLEANER has. Yet I experienced
the completely unforeseen (I
should have known better!) when
I came to page three of the PIO­NEER
to discover four Isolated
articles. all in big print, and each

"Get your guy, wear your favor­Ite

orders whlch Senior co-chairmen

Is hoped that all students will be
able to usher in their holiday ex­citements
on such a merry note.

future hold for the Nazareth

Around the Cat:npi
By Mary J. Barrett
Only 24 more days are left till Christmas Vacation (and
that alleged recess after first class)! Within the intervening
December days, our brother campus is having its annual
Winter Weekend, from the 6th through the 8th. The weekend
consists of a gambling casino and dance Friday night, the
Formal on Saturday, and a cabin party Sunday after noon. As
an added attraction, big name entertainment will arrive (on
time?) Sunday night. It amazes me what Fisher can do with
their activities fee and a $5 weekend ticket. We girls are still
struggling along (as of last year) with an activities fee of the
same amount, a $15 weekend ticket, and the Dixieland Ramb­lers.
Perhaps we're just not equipped with business acumen.
The Fisher Cardinals will "bit the hardwood" (as G.
Beahon would say it) on the 4th in a game against RIT. The
team looks better this year but they need help-moral sup·
port. Buses are provided for students from both schools. The
money for this transporta tion was earned by Salue to Sports.
Let's use it up this year!
While we're on the subject of elevators--is there any
real reason, or r uling, that prevents art, music and chemistry
majors from using ours? Art majors carry on the average
of ten pounds 1>£ equipment to the third floor day in and day
out. Music majors lose their breath on the trip up and can't
possibly sing in good voice. The poor chem majors are in
classes for two and three hours at a time. I doubt that they
would tie up the elevator . Someone please · cortsider!. ..
For those girts uninterested in St. J ohn Fisher, elevators,
and basketball, there is always the cultural side of campus
life. From 12:00 to 1:30 each day, you can watch real, true-to­life
drama enacted on the television screen in the ·day-hop
social room. The plots are so esoteric, the acting is sublime,
but both are surpassed by the dialogue.
It is an opportunity that shouldn't be passed up (and isn't
by a sizeable percentage of our student body). At present,
The B.righter Day seems to be the favorite; but The Secret
Storm is running a close second.
Off the sweater sleeve: It's nice to see that the PIONEER
